text: US | Remote-only<p>We’re Dials: Github for property maintenance. Today, huge skyscrapers and hospitals track maintenance items (furnace repair) using legacy “building management systems”. It’s what you’d expect: desktop software, six-figure contracts and multi-year implementation timelines. For the other 99% of buildings, Dials moves all this to the cloud and organizes it, letting everyone work faster, earn more, and take better care of their buildings. The first piece we’re doing is HOA reserve planning, a high-stakes problem that when done incorrectly, causes disasters like the condo collapse that just happened in Florida.<p>We’re making product design our first hire because we see ourselves as similar to Square: lots of semi-technical users, served by an inexpensive, self-serve product. Product Design will be a key growth driver for the business and accordingly, this position offers a ton of visibility, and room for growth.<p>You will have broad discretion to remodel, use, or even discard what we’ve built so far. We wouldn’t mind if you want to contribute code but the priority is someone who can work from (and help shape) product requirements, building flows and assets using Figma, InDesign, Photoshop, and other similar tools.<p>Our founders have 15+ years combined experience in Silicon Valley, one prior exit, and our CTO led the perception team at the company that was first to legally operate an 18-wheel semi truck with nobody in the cab. We’ve assembled a great team of 30+ investors from Stripe, Square, Coinbase, and Heroku, and are a distributed-by-choice company with the founders in different cities. Obviously, we want to make ourselves and our investors money, but we chose this because it’s technically deep, and has the potential to make millions of owners&#x27;, managers&#x27;, accountants&#x27;, and tradespeoples&#x27; work lives more pleasant. Aishanou and I creating the sort of place we’d want to work ourselves: clear expectations and reporting lines, respectful, high-caliber coworkers, 45-50 hours&#x2F;week of work (no weekend work&#x2F;”crunch time”), and ample mentorship for junior employees.<p>Email: david@dials.com

text: for a no-doubt underpaid (but guilt-free and potentially highly satisfying) automation job :)<p>- Who: Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef (non-profit) | Cairns, Australia (it&#x27;s REMOTE) | citizensgbr.org<p>- What: we currently need help with: AUTOMATION(!)<p>We&#x27;re a 21st century conservation organisation for the Great Barrier Reef. Or at least that&#x27;s the idea. We&#x27;re involved in a broad range of activities[1], but the big picture is a global conversation about climate change.<p>Our current go-to is a citizen science &#x2F; research effort called the Great Reef Census[2], currently in its second year. The project incorporates a whole range of (relatively lo-fi &#x2F; glue-together yet novel) tech solutions, from remote &#x2F; vessel-deployed offline servers, spatially aware data submission portals, 3d planning tools[3] (we like mapping), plus an ML&#x2F;CV angle being developed from last year&#x27;s data[4]. It&#x27;s an open project, so all data is being released under CC, similarly code open sourced (as soon as time permits). Everything we can build in house we do. We need a few extra pairs of hands for delivery of the project this year.<p>Last year we successfully trialed the use of edge servers for collecting data, offline, from remote areas of the reef. These were developed at speed with hardware donated by Dell. Config is currently completely manual and stack is a mix of ubuntu &#x2F; netplan (captive wifi w public dns + 4g) &#x2F; haproxy &#x2F; offline mirrors of our web properties &#x2F; mapping tile server. It is in dire need of some devops love and automation.<p>We&#x27;re looking for help in other areas too: on the web we are primarily vue &#x2F; node (db is firestore, cloud is gcp &#x2F; cloudflare). At the same time we do a lot of data-wrangling. We also need to prepare the project for open sourcing, to drive further tech engagement and resource. If your skills lend themselves to any of this, it would free up hands.<p>We are busy and under resourced and find it difficult to recruit &#x2F; compete in the current landscape. That said, the work can be rewarding plus we&#x27;re willing to accommodate any measures that would make it work for the right person. Tech is currently a one-person show, but we&#x27;re trying to fix that. The role would likely suit a senior type with some days spare and a passion for the environment. It is a paid position. If you&#x27;re in Australia, we also do a lot of diving and there&#x27;s the opportunity to certify &amp; spend some solid time on the reef as part of the project.<p>Role: Hyper casual over 3-6mths+ (what can you do, how long will it take) &#x2F; flexible schedule to suit budget (we value skill set over availability) &#x2F; no juniors, interns at this stage unfortunately.<p>Questions &#x2F; expressions of interest to hq@citizensgbr.org ~ Thanks!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;citizensgbr.org&#x2F;explore&#x2F;atlas" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;citizensgbr.org&#x2F;explore&#x2F;atlas</a>
